Anterior border of clypeus regularly curved; frontal area indistinct. Head longer than broad, eyes'large, placed in the centre of the sides of head, of which they occupy three-quarters; ocelli large and prominent. Frontal carinas short, diverging behind; scape of 13 - jointed antennae slightly shorter than the second joint of funiculus, first joint of latter as broad as long; from the second joint of funiculus, which is the longest, the joints gradually diminish in length until the terminal, which is slightly longer than the preceding one. Mesonotum high and arched, Mayrian furrows almost invisible; scutellum prominent, rather small, and wider in front; epinotum longer than broad, with convex sides, only slightly narrower behind than in front. Upper wings with two cubital closed and two discoidal cells. Pedicel long and narrow, somewhat cylindrical, only slightly higher behind; underneath in front is a long, very thin, vertical spine. Gaster a little more than twice as long as broad, first segment (or post-petiole) as long as the second, the constriction between them moderately pronounced. Tibiae of the two posterior pairs of legs with two spurs, the inner long and pectinate, very shortly so in the middle pair and longer in the posterior pair. Claws bifid. Head and thorax coarsely rugose; on the declivous surface of epinotuin the rugosities radiate from a central ridge; node of pedicel transversely striate. First segment of gaster finely striate longitudinally, the lateral striae curving inwards and encircling the base; second segment finely striate transversely, the striai having a tendency to curve upwards; the remaining segments transversely striate. In one specimen the node and gaster are shining, the striae on the. former being more feeble, those on the first segment of gaster are only apparent at the sides and base, and on the second segment they are diagonal, the central ones almost longitudinal. Pilosity sparse and scattered, yellow; scapes and tibiae with erect hairs. Chestnut, head and mesonotum darker.	en	Crawley W. C. (1915): Ants from north and south-west Australia (G. F.

2B73BBB5E7F047B74EED7864A38DB239.taxon	discussion	As no ☿ ☿ were captured with these ♂ have thought it best to describe them provisionally as a new species, and have placed them in the subgenus Rhytidoponera (s. str.), although in the length of the scape and second joint of funiculus they do not entirely accord with Emery's characters given in the ' Genera Insectorum / The number o £ males known is, however, small.	en	Crawley W.

Clypeus subcarinate, the anterior margin produced in a short lobe (shorter and broader than in guerini), with a concave border and five small teeth. Frontal carinae short, wider apart than the distance from each to the sides of the head, fairly divergent, and reaching the anterior margin of the eyes. The latter are placed near the posterior border of head and are not very prominent. Head slightly longer than broad, broader behind than in front, slightly convex behind, sides convex. Pronotum broader in front, the sides rectilineal and bordered; the teeth at the anterior angles of medium length, about twice as long as their width at base. Pro-mesonotal suture distinct, meso-epinotal less so. Epinotum with two spines as long as the width between them; declivous longer than basal surface. Pedicel with long curved spines, like buffalo's horns, thick at base, encircling the first segment of gaster. The first segment of the latter more than twice as long as the rest of the gaster, the whole rounded, about as broad as long. Head finely reticulate, the sculpture almost concealed by the pubescence; opaque (shining and striate in guerini). Scapes finely reticulate. Thorax and pedicel (except the apical half of all the spines) coarsely reticulate-rugose, shining between the reticulations. On the lower half of the back of pedicel, between the spines, the rugosities take a transverse direction. Legs finely reticulate. Gaster very finely reticulate-punctate, the sculpture almost hidden by the pubescence. Erect hairs on head yellowish, on pro- and epinotuin darker, on gaster golden. Pubescence on head very thick, silvergrey. Of the thorax, the epinotum only is pubescent, similarly to the head. On the gaster the pubescence is pale golden, merging into grey underneath. The femora and tibiae have a slight silvery pubescence.	en	Crawley W. C. (1915): Ants from north and south-west Australia (G. F. Hill, Rowland Turner) and Christmas Island, Straits Settlements.
